Started by (Metal) Jason Conde-Houston, and Garde (Daniil Fedtsov) in the abandonded residence of Pat Seick, in the summer of 2001. As the project progressed, the band used influences from early Syd Barrett days of Pink Floyd to Space Rock gods of Hawkwind. In the fall of 2003, Deadly Ed joins the band on synth and keyboards.
After three years of recording Triligy slowly, it was finally finished in 2006. By that time, Metal Garde had numerous changes in the line-up, including all the ex-members of Coyotes with Mike Eckel and Jake Anzaruth on percussions and Danners Beutler on lead guitar. In 2006, Danny's brother Elliot took over for drums, but by that time Metal Garde needed to land the ship back into spaceport where it came.
In the fall 2006, Metal Garde played the last few shows together. Garde and Elliott formed Musemakers with Ed and Danny playing in the first shows. Metal and Danners moved to Seattle. On January 8th, 2007 Deadly Ed was fatally hit by a moving RV on freeway 5 close to his house, leaving numerous friends stunned, shocked, and in disbelief. Musemakers currently play as a duo.
As of August of 2007, Garde has moved in the Snake Mountain, the homebase of Seattle bands such as Skelator, and Iron Falcon. Jason is still the lead singer of Skelator, Danners and Mike Eckel have joined the new Coyotes lineup in Seattle still led by Patrick Seick. Elliot is exploring south east Asia for the remainder of the year. Metal Garde reunion is in talks, however there were already two houseparty appearences, with minimalistic lineups of either two or three members including Mike Eckel on drums.
